What Our Community Is Saying
“When you’ve had the BEST, why go to the rest? I came up with this slogan once I realized what Foothills Arrowhead had to offer compared to other Physical Therapy names. Before being introduced to Foothills Arrowhead, I had been turned off by other places due to their work environment, lack of enthusiasm, and just felt like being put through a process vs a caring helpful atmosphere. Several years ago my knee surgeon suggested going to this location for rehab. I knew when I walked in for my first appointment this place was different! The atmosphere was positive, filled with patients of all ages and each one with a different medical need. Everyone employed at the Arrowhead Foothills location greeted each patient by their individual name like we were family and also the name of anyone accompanying them. This is my third time coming back and I even changed my insurance, just so I would be able to have the Foothills experience.”

“What can I say? I love this place! Doug Howard has helped me tremendously. I am 74 and went in with a limp and pain in my right knee. After getting dry needled, I walked out without a limp and with no pain! He was able to help me with muscle pain in my upper back, neck, and arms. The pain has been there for over 50 years and I am amazed at how great I am functioning without pain…. I highly recommend it. My husband starts with Doug in a few weeks! The staff and the physical therapists are amazing…. Renee, Roberto, Megan, Dee, and everyone else! Thank you for changing my life!”

“I love Foothills. I have been going to them off and on for several years for different sports/exercise-related injuries. Most recently I had a full knee replacement in December and have been going 2-3 times a week for PT. I would not be where I am today with my recovery if not for Dr. Doug Howard and his amazing staff. Everyone there is so friendly and knows my name. Thank you all for everything! I would highly recommend Foothills to anyone looking for any physical therapy. They are #1!!”

“I used them for PT on my broken leg for several months. The therapists and assistants were friendly and excellent, and they were able to customize a program for me that allowed a combination of in-person at-home PT.”

“I am very happy with Foothills Arrowhead. I was referred to them by my Orthopedic Surgeon after major cervical surgery. They are very knowledgeable and learn the specifics of your case so that they are able to give you the best possible treatment. All of the staff there work very well together as a team and all have a very positive attitude. They make you feel good about being there and explain what they are trying to help you accomplish with each step of the process.”
